Sensitivity and empathy are the most important things when responding to someone who has been bereaved, and training isn’t necessarily the best way of imparting these qualities.
However, some people may feel more comfortable and confident when they’ve been on bereavement training, particularly if they are supporting bereaved colleagues in a professional capacity such as manager or HR professional.
